Handyman repairs across the Peninsula
Most calls start with one thing and end with a short list. That's what a handyman is for: one crew, one visit, the small jobs that don't justify calling five different trades.
The things people call us for most:
- Doors that stick, sag or won't latch
- Holes and cracks in drywall and ceilings
- Old caulk and grout in tubs and showers
- Shelves, mirrors and grab bars
- Sliding door rollers and pocket doors
- Baseboards after new floors
- Furniture assembly
- Repairs after a leak is fixed
Not on the list? Show us.
Text a photo or a short video of the problem. Junior looks at it, tells you what it takes and, for most small jobs, gives you a price right there by text. That's how he works. This video is one he filmed himself, walking through a finished condo.
How it works
No call centers and no surprises. The person you talk to is the person who does the work.
Tell us what's happening
Call, text or send the form. A photo of each thing gets you the fastest answer.
We look and give you a price
Small jobs usually get a price by text. Bigger ones get a visit and a written estimate. Both are free.
We get it done
The crew shows up when we said we would, protects your floors and cleans up at the end of each day.
We walk it with you
Before we call it done, we go over the work together and fix anything you point out.

J&J and Junior and crew provides great Handyman services and support especially for seniors that need a little excellent home maintenance for a reasonable price. Junior and crew repaired and caulked my upstairs shower pan to its shower wall and helped mme clean up my roof deck by cleaning up leafe debris. They were prompt and knowledgeable and honest about their estimates to complete the maintenance. Highly recommended for repair and fixing those tough maintenance jobs you don’t have the time or expertise to finish.

Junior and his team were professional and went above and beyond. We have found our new handyman!
5.0★★★★★
Junior and his crew were awesome to work with. Junior was always on time, respectful, thoughtful, and meticulous in his work. He is genuinely a kind soul and a great human - as were all his crew members. The work was very fairly priced. He always showed up when he said he would and he never kept me guessing. I would strongly recommend his group. For reference, he did a full interior remodel/refresh of our condo: floors, kitchen, walls, and bathrooms.
5.0★★★★★
Value for money and flexible to work with. Would definitely hire them again, for all jobs around the house.
5.0★★★★★
I hired Junior and his team to install Govee Pro outdoor lights with tracks along my roofline, which has a lot of tricky angles and turns. They did an incredible job — everything looks clean, professional, and aligned. Junior showed up on time, worked efficiently, and even helped with a few extra repairs around the house. I’m thrilled with the results and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him for any home improvement or maintenance work.

Why homeowners on the Peninsula call Junior
Junior Prata runs Junior Elite Services out of San Bruno with a small crew. He answers the phone, writes the estimate and works on the job, so the person who quoted it is the person who builds it.
Raffi, whose condo we remodeled, put it this way: "He always showed up when he said he would and he never kept me guessing."
